BigG

Welcome back, Kaz! Been a long time!

I have seen their game film... they are quite impressive.

WH wins 1-0.

FRA wins 3-2 over DCA CPA wins 1-0 over BGA CAK wins 3-0 over Webb Boyd wins 4-1 over Kings (all of the above are region semi finals) Lausanne wins 2-0 over St. Georges ECS wins 3-0 over Harding (these last games are region finals and runner up game) FRA will play CPA for region championship. BGA will play DCA for consolation. Boyd will play CAK for region championship. Webb will play Kings for consolation.

It rotates every year. Middle will get it next year.

???? For an elimination game???

I just looked at their scores: http://www.coacht.com/tennessee/inside/schedule.cfm?schoolid=70&sportid=10&seasonid=325 They do like scoring some goals. Might make some noise in D1 A. I'll be interested to see a match up against Grace...

Apologies!

CAK 1 CCS 0 Notre Dame lost to Kings Academy (don't know details). Boyd won (I think 7-0?). FRA is up 2-1 over USN BGA is up 4-0 over Goodpasture

You also forgot the evil wizard "OPEN ZONED SCHOOL"-demort. Ha ha. I wouldn't be surprised if Grace didn't "mercy rule" 2 of their state games. In fall of 2019 they will be with us in our region.

Best White House team we have seen in a while. The first half was pretty much all WH (their midfield and overlapping backs did an outstanding job with possession). Definitely on our heels. We were fortunate for the win. The game could have gone either way. I still predict (and now even more strongly) that they will go to the finals.

It means they face the winner of CCS and Boyd.

Looking forward to a great match tonight! Thankfully the rain has stayed away!

Grace (Franklin) will roll to the finals (in my opinion). Some of the most talented young players I have seen in a long time. Alcoa will give them a match, though I hope it isn't until the finals. White House and Greeneville for AA. D2 AA should probably be Baylor, MCallie or MBA (though I give the nod to McCallie if they are healthy). I'm staying out of D2 A (though Boyd is making some noise and the teams out west are tough!). And I havne't really followed AAA

So.... your centerback is going to come up in the attack? SWEET! Betts and Thorne will have a field day.

No. If I remember correctly, they are in a different district now.

It's always hard in a transition year (from one coach to a new coach). However, I don't think they could have hired anyone better than Gorman. I know (and coached) several of those boys, who are now seniors. They have the potential to do really well. I think it just depends on whether or not they buy into what Gorman is "selling". The man proved he can do it with what he did with Alcoa in 2009 in developing a great program (which now has their first A state title). Competing in his district is probably a one or two game "must win". His region is a bit harder, but with Bearden being out of it, it does open it up a bit. I'm really not sure what Farragut, Maryville, or HV have, so the will be interesting to see. I liked how they bounced back against South Doyle. They were down 0-1 and then won 3-1. Show character and grit. Great goal by Nigh, as well. Time will tell. It will also help when their field dries out so that they can train on it!

So true. So true! We actually were talking about this yesterday. That sectional match was always a "who can avoid White House"! Glad we are continuing the competition. The boys should make a great run. Now your job is to avoid Page (well, and Greeneville)!

BGA had an outstanding and creative 8th grader, who I was really impressed with. I wouldn't say that these girls wouldn't have been recommended (also, hard to say about some as I didn't see them). The girls from Briarcrest were excellent. I just feel that, by only having ONE All State team, you have cut the deserving girls by HALF of what it should have been. You can't have a team for each classification of Division 1 and then go "heck, let's just throw all of Division 2 into one team". I even reached out to the Tennessean but I got ZERO response. Not even a "thank you for your inquiry".

I know there is no easy way to do this all state team, HOWEVER to lump all of Division 2 into ONE team isn't right. Some of the most talented teams across the state were in Division 2 A, and several girls from Division 2 AA were left off because of being pooled into one squad. Honeye Hedari isn't even in high school (she plays for Union). I am assuming they mean her sister. USN had the regional player of the year (and WELL deserved) and not a single spot for USN. Emily Patti (CAK Lipscomb signee) was outstanding this year. BGA had a very talented forward (though she was young). When I am working on the All State teams with the THSSCA, if I don't know a lot about a region, I contact coaches in that region to find out. Knoxville used to do this when they were making their teams. Reporters would call coaches and get input. Now, the newspapers don't even cover our games (even our scores).

You ask, I provide!
